There are modern technologies of electronic equipment design which ensure quick and cost effective architectural solutions for object-dependent level of computer-control systems. On the base of MIL-STD-1553B fieldbus, digital signal processors (DSP), reconfigurable FPGA and RISC microcontrollers new family of devices have been designed. Devices can be connected in different configurations via MIL-STD-1553B fieldbus, RS485 and RS232 interfaces. Intellectual ability and functionality of family members depend on concrete applications. Complex control algorithms, including direct digital feedback control and data processing, can be implemented due to using powerful fixed point DSP. On the base of these devices set distributed control and data acquisition system can be created. Devices are installed in stand alone small size boxes. Main spheres of applications are large experimental installations control systems, data acquisition, "hard" real time tasks and industrial control. Modules have been used for industrial accelerator control and for upgrading of CW racetrack microtron computer control system.
